Bondi Boost Wave Wand
Verified152 reviews
my go to – its so good to finally find a waver that's big enough for the waves I want. this is the only heat I use on my hair and I'm obsessed. the only critique I have is the button for heat in a weird place and I've found myself turning it off by accident a few times. otherwise I'm in love. would love it in a light yellow or sage green.

Waste of money – Absolutely waste of money 1) took over 2 month to get even though the business located in Australia 2) does not have Australian plug and adopter is constantly dropping off 3) the filter cover was nit designed as it should and it sucks hair in 4) curling attachment does not work ( curl lasted less than I went through whole head) 5) customer support is absolutely disgusting and does not operates within guidelines of Australian consumer law Show details
NO TO WAVE WAND – I would never recommend BONDI BOOSt WAVE WAND. ( both 32 mm and 25mm) It damaged my hair BIG time. Take note I am using heat protection spray, imagine how much more damage without the heat protection spray. Show details

Saves time & cutting of my hair – After just two week (= 2 hair washes) of using the super shine oil my hair looks and feel great, in addition Blow out brush saves me at least 45 mins of styling (it literally takes 15mins now) as I don’t need to straighten as well as blow wave, I also give it a refresh mid week with the BOB (hahaha not battery operate boyfriend any more, now the… Read more
BlowOut Brush ), I love how it leaves my hair looking straight but not flat instead it looks full of bounce….. these two combine stopped me cutting off my hair as it was looking dead and life. Even my ‘notice nothing’ partner has commented on how nice my hair is looking & he wouldn’t notice if the house was on fire now to save up for the wave wand…
2weeks…..
Nice result but too much effort – Nice but much easier done on someone else or vice-versa. Bulky & heavy. On/off button in the way but can be locked. Slow heating. Pics show my very rough first attempt. Show details
Fast delivery and does what it says it’ll do – I purchased this product on Saturday and arrive the following Tuesday so delivery 10/10 I was so impatient to use it I tried it out on my unwashed very long hair which took 16mins to achieve curls at 180°, photos attached (before and after). I did not use any heat protectant spray (impatience) nor have I put in any product to maintain the curl… Read more
after. I suspect as I use this product more often I will get used to it and will get the desired look. I am yet to see how long these curls last however first use, it does exactly what it says it’s going to do. I do agree with other comments the power button and temperature buttons are in an awkward position but again the more you use it the more you will get used to that and avoid them.

Love this! – I've had this for a few years now and I absolutely love it! I'm not a very practiced hair styler having spent most of my life doing nothing with my hair so it took me a couple of goes to get the hang of it but now it is really easy to use and I love the result. Show details
Amazing!! – Easy to use, and creates lovely waves. I found the lock button to be very useful to make sure I didn't accidentally turn the appliance off. Highly recommend it if you're looking to have an easy hairstyle! Show details
Want beautiful beach’s waves?? Here’s how!! – Once you figure out the best method for use, this wand will give you those beach waves everyone wants!! Section your hair, apply heat protection spring and start from the bottom going up stay in the grooves you have already created and you will have beach’s waves in no time!! Works really well with the salt spray for extra volume and shine xx Show details
Negative reviews
Awkward, heavy and clunky – Hard to use. Heavy to hold while trying to open the clamp with one hand. Unclamping to get your hair in is so hard. The on/off button is in the way of where you hold to unclamp so it keeps turning off. So disappointed. Nice big waves. Show details
Do not recommend – I pulled this wand outta the back on my bathroom cupboard and remembered why it has been stuck there collecting dust for the past two years. The wand is obscenely heavy, if you used this tool regularly you’d probably end up with carpal tunnel syndrome. The clamp doesn’t shut securely, you have to push it up from the underside to get it tight. … Read more
Because the barrels are so large It’s clunky and uncomfortable to use. And I’ve burnt myself too many times. The large barrels also make for an unimpressive wave, You’re safer braiding your wet hair and keeping it in overnight and you’ll get a better result with a lot less effort. Tool also took quite a while to heat up. Will be binning it and buying the Remington or Babyliss wave tool instead.
Does not work for me – First off I have naturally curly hair (loose curls), with medium thickness. Bondi boost waiver does not work for me at all, unless I straighten all my hair first, and even then the waves aren't that great and do not hold. Also it's not easy to use, it's awkward and somewhat heavy. I do not recommend this product and I regret buying it! Show details

natural looking waves – little bulky to use and transport (travel case), would recommend those who like "beach style waves" if held on hair to long can give hair a kink not wave. I have shoulder length hair. Show details

Hideously heavy – Heavy awkward clunky and turns itself off whilst trying to attach it to hair So disappointed after all the hype . Have used another and have gone ahead and purchased from another company Show details
Good Intention but badly executed – Purchased it based on the good reviews but realised quickly is not for me. I used it one time only. The wand is heavy and difficult to handle. It takes long to create waves that are even and leaves a print on the top near the hairline. The turn off button is in such am awkward position that I kept turning it off while trying to hold the wand in… Read more
position. The ends of my hair looked fried after. Refund policy is a joke because you pay tracked shipping back which is Half the price of the wand. You will find plenty plenty on ebay and gumtree being sold after 1 use. Further, when I raised my issues in the instagram comments as a personal experience review, they made sure to delete it quickly. Do not buy from them.
Clunky and doesn't work on my hair – I find this tool very clunky and not easy to use and it doesn't really work on my hair (which is medium to long). Gives it a bit of kink in the hair but that is about it. Disappointed Show details
The best wave wand! – I love the wave this gives in my hair. I have thick, wavy-curly, long hair and it gives such a beautiful style to my hair. I love that it can give you a more casual down style compared to a curling wand but can jazz up a ponytail so perfectly!!
Love, love it – This wand is great, so easy to use and leaves great perfect curls. I have long thick hair and love using the wave wand. Would definitely recommend this proud. Awesome value Show details
Mermaid waves but quite awkward to use – This product creates large mermaid waves, however I found the product heavy and awkward to use. Quick to get to the desired temperature and has adjustable temperature controls - nice feature. Show details
Terrible, doesn’t do what they claim it does – This product is overrated. Barely creates a wave. I held it in place on my hair for over 30 seconds and still couldn’t achieve a wave. The instructions state to hold it for 10 seconds and move down. Don’t waste your money. The shipping cost to return it is too much and they make returning it a major hassle so you’ll know it’s not worth it. Show details
Ripples, not waves – To be honest, this isn’t a bad product. But if you are expecting waves, they are very soft. Gave it away as it wasn’t very effective. I expected better results Show details
Heavy and ineffective – I do not rate this wand AT ALL. The wand itself is very heavy and you have to hold it in place for ages to achieve a wave. I also find the temperature is not super hot and it takes awhile to heat up. Overall the wand is heavy and not ergonomic. The on/off button is in a terrible position. I achieve better waves with a top brand straightener I have. Disappointed. Waste of money and not suitable for short or medium length hair. Show details

Don't be fooled by the money back guarantee – You pay for shipping both ways if you try and send back a product. I bought the smaller wave wand and it was going to cost me half the cost of the product to return it. I was hoping to try it risk free but that is not the case at all. Buyers beware! Show details
Excellent – Absolutely awesome. Can not recommend enough. It’s not too heavy, the on button locks and the temperature is adjustable. I don’t have thirty words to write to meet review guidelines.... Show details
Not as great as I thought it would be – I find this really hard to use. Very bulky and on/off button is placed in a bad position where I constantly hit it & accidentally turn it off whilst doing my hair. Also sent them an enquiry after my purchase and never hear back. Show details
Love it! simple beautiful hair! – love it! was nervous at first after people saying it was to heavy and the button would turn off but its not too heavy to hold and the button locks so you don't accidentally turn it off while in use! Show details
Fabulous Waves – Awesome waves.. the more you use it the more creative the waves .. I find it bulky to hold and the button to change settings I knock while trying not to burn my neck and makes gorgeous waves !! Must use with the heat repellent is not to frizz your hair Show details
Horrible Return Policy – I have thick wavy hair, so I wasn't sure about this product when I purchased it. It did not hold the curls, took forever to do, was heavy, and the on/off button is placed in a horrible spot so you constantly turn it off in the middle of doing your hair. I'm Canadian and when I paid for the product, it was in Canadian dollars. However, when I… Read more
looked at my Visa bill, it was in American. Not off to a great start. As the product did not work for me, I wanted to return it. I went through the process, paid the shipping fee, and had it returned to the head office within the 30 days. When they refunded me, they reimbursed me for $60 when I had paid $80. When I inquired about this, they claimed false facts about "packaging protection" which is not stated anywhere on their website. Do not fall for this scam of a product and waste your time with their awful customer service.
Love it! – I love this tool! I am terrible at styling my own hair and cannot curl at all so these waves are an easy way to create a new look for myself. SO easy to use and looks great Show details
Fantastic – It was quite large to handle (for me ) at the start but now getting used to it. Everyone comments when i have used it. I love the waves. I have really long hair. Show details
I absolutely love my Bondi boost wand!Theres no other way I’d like my hair to look like! – The wand is very easy to use and the waves are instant. I can trust it for any occasion. Not been a single day I haven’t used it! The spray that came with the product is just as amazing and prevents breakage of hair after! Show details
Better than expected – Bought the wave wand a few weeks ago and so happy with it . Even with my long and thick hair it works great. Very easy to use and produces perfect and even waves. Makes the hair look really shiny too. Would recommend this product to anyone. Show details
Fabulous and easy too use – Wow! It takes me 7 mins to have gorgeous bouncy waves, I'm complemented all the time, lasts for two days I keep temp low so I don't DMG my hair and use a heat spray. I'm so loving my look with these waves ! Show details
Amazing for my straight hair!!! – This is the best invention ever!! My hair never had movement or shape and now is very easy to style it! Totally recommended for everyone, easy to use and you can adjust the temperature Show details
Love my magic Bondi Boost Wave Wand – I do my hair in the morning and the waves last all day & night. My hair shines has movement with gorgeous waves. Iv received many compliments. I honestly recommend purchasing this product!
